Use Walhalla water for essential needs only

The city of Walhalla water treatment plant has lost electric power service, and all Walhalla water customers are requested to conserve water use and use water only for essential purposes.  Scott Parris, the utilities superintendent, makes the following plea:  “Due to yesterday’s storm and power outages, the Walhalla Water Department is experiencing water supply issues.  As a result, the department is asking customers to conserve water today and tomorrow.  We ask that you use water only for essential needs, until the system is able to recover from the storm-related shortage. We apologize for the inconvenience.  Please follow our (Facebook) page for updates.”
